Canada

They're directly lobbying the government on a massive scale. They're looking for every opportunity to force their software on people buying any computer, like they always have. They're looking for every technical trick to screw the competition, and to extract more from their customers. Where it's possible (i.e. not LibreOffice) they're buying up any company that does threaten to successfully compete with them. They bought half the video game industry for example. They're buying their way into all the schools so kids grow up knowing nothing but the Microsoft life.

I mean what else would they do? It's Microsoft.

As a matter of national security we need to move our digital services to Canadian platforms, or platforms other than Microsoft.

"Oh no, we did our job so incredibly terribly that people are trying new things! And sticking with them! Quick, let's use our wealth to crush the competition!"

This is the part where you find out if your government officials even know what Linux and Libre are.

Ah yes because they fear losing the ability to charge annual and monthly subscriptions for their spyware. And no MSFT for the 30th time I don’t want to try Copilot just like I didn’t want to deal with that ho Cortana you pimped out before.

I hope our officials are taking notice what Europeans are doing.

Yes Microslop keep showing me your despair, bleed it out as much as you can and show everyone that you are a parasite we don't need, dew it!

It's alarming what they are lobbying about. But is there an indication in the page specific to Linux or LibreOffice?

Remember when the world wasn't fucked up and Microsoft got spanked just for including IE in the OS? Look at the shit these fucks get away with now.

"Our monopoly is providing so little value for consumers that they've started to make the products for themselves!"

Have they tried making a product that isn't shit?

One of them is just called Bigot?? Figures

I used to love windows. Lots of good games played on it. AOL. Fun other little programs.

They've really taken the soul out of it over the last decade or so. Not sure if it's the CEO or upper management but I main Linux now and I doubt I'd go back even if they improved their base OS.

The thing is, if this meant anything it would've shut down LibreOffice years ago. It's not illegal to be in the likeness of something. Look at Fender Bass Guitars and Sadowsky Bass Guitars. Sadowsky is in the likeness of Fender and they're indirect competition. The difference is, is that Fender isn't a baby about it.

Microslop is just fucking butthurt that people don't want to pay to read documents.

Has Libreoffice or Linux profitted off of Genocide like Microsoft has? No? Why are you using Microsoft then?

While I don't doubt their lobbying includes anti-Linux themes, there was no specific info in OP's link. It looks like they are spamming every branch of government with corporate crap at all times.

Lmfao Save the installation file while you can. I love LibreOffice. Shit's saved me so much time and money. Not gonna lie it's fucking scummy to begin with to lock the main document reading program of the operating system itself and forcing users to pay an annual service fee while the program itself runs like total shit and notoriously has ran like shit since XP. That's 6 major OS changes later and it's still shit. 24 years later since microsoft office became shit and ...... it's still shit

LibreOffice, is what Microsoft Office should be and they hate it. 🖕 microsoft
